Senior Security Engineer - UK
We are seeking a Senior Security Engineer to help protect critical systems, applications and data across a complex technology environment. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced security professional who can combine hands-on technical expertise with strong communication skills and a practical, risk-based approach to security.
You will design, implement and maintain security controls across cloud, infrastructure, networks and endpoint environments. Responsibilities will include monitoring and responding to security incidents, investigating vulnerabilities, supporting threat detection and improving the organisation’s overall security posture. You will also contribute to security architecture, technical standards and the secure delivery of new services and platforms.
The role will involve working closely with engineering, operations, development and risk teams to identify weaknesses and deliver effective remediation. You will provide security guidance throughout the technology lifecycle, undertake assessments and reviews, and help ensure that solutions meet relevant internal policies and regulatory requirements. You may also support incident response exercises, security testing and the development of automation to improve efficiency and visibility.
Applicants should have substantial experience in a security engineering or similar technical role, with a strong understanding of network security, identity and access management, vulnerability management, logging and security monitoring. Experience with public cloud platforms, infrastructure as code, security tooling and secure software development practices would be highly beneficial. A good working knowledge of recognised security frameworks and data protection principles is also expected.
You will be comfortable analysing complex issues, communicating clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, and making sound decisions in a fast-moving environment. The ability to manage competing priorities, influence positive change and remain calm during incidents is essential. Relevant professional certifications, such as CISSP, CCSP, GIAC or equivalent experience, would be advantageous.
This role offers the chance to make a meaningful contribution to enterprise security while working on varied, high-impact initiatives. You will join a collaborative team that values continuous improvement, knowledge sharing and thoughtful, proportionate security.
